ok i wouldnt say you are wrong, but missing a couple things. first, yes a snowshoe may be easier to walk over snow than high heel shoes, but high heel shoes if they actually puncture all the way through the snow into the ground, they will provide superior grip. seen in the high narrow wheels some serious mudgoing vehicles. so no you cannnot say tracks will always have an advantage over wheels in snow or sand. and if the ground was completely flat, yes what you are saying is completely correct, but if the ground was more not as smooth, wouldnt more in contact with the ground sometimes provide more grip? for example. velcro. more contact equals more grip. so well... i guess its not fair because it will be called "hooking into" the ground.
okay. im gonna stop because im just gonna make a fool of myself trying to disprove the laws of physics
so ill just correct you on the one thing im sure about.
